The Weekend That Flew By
I took Friday afternoon off so that I could head up to Fredericton to get my passport processed. Thankfully it wasn't snowing as badly as the forecast had predicted. By the time I got back to Saint John, I was pretty tired, so I took a nap and woke up just as I should have been at rehearsal, so I rushed over. Rehearsal went well, and after that we had a cast and crew karaoke party at the Somerset Pub. It was nice to see so many people turn out for it!
Saturday morning Jay and Lisa M stopped by so that Lisa could borrow my sewing machine. We then decided to do breakfast at Reggies and when we were done that, I headed over to the rehearsal space to tape out the rehearsal area. I finished just as rehearsal got started. We worked through the first half of the show. It's the first time we've tried the transitions and singing and dancing and acting all together. Once that was done, I stuck around to help the Kit Kat girls out as they worked on a couple of their dances. By the time we were done, it was after 5. Lisa F and I went and checked out Sense of Tokyo, the new Japanese restaurant on Waterloo Street, which was fantastic!! After that, I deserved a quiet evening in.
Sunday we had another afternoon rehearsal where we worked through the second half of the play, which needs a lot more work than the first half. We finished rehearsal and then I finally got a chance to finish taping out the rehearsal space and organizing the space and props (please folks, use the recycling bag for beverage containers and the garbage bag for your garbage! There was a ton of stuff to clean up.) and after that, Stephen and Sandra and I had a little production meeting at the Tim Horton's on King Street. By the time we were done, it was 5 PM. I then headed home to deal with emails about the show, and when Lisa F called at 8:30 to see if I wanted to go see a movie, I welcomed the break.
So I headed out to see Pathfinder with Lisa and Anthony and Sabine. The movie was... entertaining. Nothing historically accurate about it, but I thought the style of things like the pod-shaped homes and the costuming were pretty cool. Also, it was supposed to be the east coast but it looked like BC, even if the scenery was beautiful. Not much talking in this film, and what was done in English seemed so painfully modern in comparison to the time period that it was supposed to be set in. Lots of violence, I think they pretty much managed to depict every type of torture/death possible for the "evil" Vikings to use on their victims. The good news? Karl Urban, of course (hello chaps and loin cloth combo!) and the tobogganing chase scene, and a few other unintended funny moments, as well as a hefty dose of action. I needed the mental break and I'm glad I saw it.
